Christmas on Byres Road saw many thousands of you visit to watch our Christmas tree light switch on on the 26th November. What a day we had! There was music, food, balloon animals, face painting and even some dodgy dancing! Here we take a look back on our favourite snaps from the day!

Businesses across the West End are celebrating the artisan and flying the flag for independents as they launch a winter ‘Shop Local’ campaign, complete with a little book of winter promotions to help boost local shopping in the run-up to Christmas.
